"To the guns." He commanded as he strung his rifle over his shoulder. "Gunners...Make entrance." The transport door opened and Lorj pointed his rifle, along with others of the marines, and began firing at the transports and starfighters. He used his sniper rifle to place a well aimed shot through the cockpit window of a starfighter. Keanne equipped himself with a missile launcher and destroyed a starfighter and fired on a dropship. The gunners laid firepower on the ground, destroying approaching xenly, but the holes in the crowd would quickly be replaced. Keanne fired another missile towards the other dropship. Lorj raised his rifle and fired rounds on the last starfighter. They needed to get inside fast.
Si Kya turned to the voice, and saw Major Vur. Somewhere in his aching, pained mind, Si laughed, and he did so, aloud. The Professor looked at him, as if he'd lost his marbles. He probably had, to be fair. Si clapped his hands, wincing at the pain, but not too much. "I'm not surprised to see you, at all, torturer." Si waved his hands, demonstrating the misshapen lump of a hand, and then the burns on the other. Si tugged his shirt over his head and off his chest, to show the Chistori the scars he still had. "Not content with what you did to me?" Si wasn't afraid anymore. He had, after a fashion, gone beyond fear. "All you can do is hurt me. I already hurt. My family are dead. I'm going to die. We're all going to die, at some point." Si twitched. He idly looked around the room, backing away from Vur. "What can you do to me?" Si didn't recognise the room, anymore. He needed to remember where he was. A little voice of hope trickled inside him. Kira will save us. Me? Us? Who?
